Imagine you are walking through the main doors and into the hallway, you see everybody staring at you while you are just trying to get to your locker. You used to be the most popular girl at school until a tragic "accident" that changed your life forever. Well, that "accident" happened to me and it was one of the worst times of my life especially when I almost lost my own life.

I was known as one of the nicest, smartest, athletic, and most well-known girls in school which everybody wanted to be me, and everybody wanted to be near me. My accident is a well-known all-over town and every day I must deal with people staring at me and talking about me wherever I go. You see my accident was not an accident, it was planned by the most popular boy in school.

We used to date for quite a while, but everyone thought we were the perfect couple, but we want especially behind closed doors. At first, he was nice, caring and everyone knew. And I all started with one dare which turned my life upside down. Every year, high school students have a day or night where two of the most popular kids in school dare and we happen to be picked. Somebody thought would funny to write down "s****l assault the queen bee" as a dare and thought it would be a good idea.

Dare night should be fun and exciting but it turned into my worst nightmare, I still have panic attacks, nightmares while walking through the halls every single day while he is still free. Do you want to know what happened that night? Trust me, it might give you the chills as you know what happened to me.

It was the perfect Saturday night; everybody was meeting at the school especially by the water fountain in front of the school. They were different groups of students who were all precipitating the event, everyone was split up into groups, and I happened to be with the popular kids. Dare night is one of the school's traditions where you go around town and do a scavenger hunt and you have fun activities that will last a lifetime of memories.

Once the game maker said the word "go", everybody took off the phones and ran in different directions while my partner who is my boyfriend, and I kissed each other then started the dare game. After a few game tasks and the final task, he took to take advantage of me in the woods behind the graveyard by the church.

He took me behind the church, and sexually assaulted me a couple of times. I got pregnant from the s****l assault, and everybody thought it was my fault because of the clothes I wore that night. For a long, while I thought it was my fault, I try self-harm, to suicide to escape the pain and life. My story matters to help others with mental health.
